EsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.

SOME READING THAT WILL GROVE INTER.
EsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD Against THE DISEASE.
Group is the terror Of young mothers
especially during the early winter
months, as it is then most prevalent.
To post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms, treatment and how to
prevent it, IL the object Of this article.
The Origin of Group is a common cold,
children fhat are subject to it take cold
very EASILY and Group is almost sure to
folloS. The first symptoms of Group is
hoarseness, it's Il peculiar hoarseness,
EASILY recognized and once heard al.
ways remembered. Usually a day or
two before the attack, the child be.
comes hoarse and gradually shows
symptoms of having taken cold, and
this is where the mistake is usually
made, the mother thinking her child
has just taken cold gives it no especial
attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing of the child,
finds it has the Group and remembers it
has had acold or been hoarse for a day
or two. Such circumstances often oc.
cur, and in many cases the mother has
nothing in the house that will relieve it,
and may be several miles from a physi.
clan or drug store. You can well i'm.
agine the situation and her distress.
The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse or shows symptoms Of
having taken cold; if Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is freely given from
that time on, all tendency to Group will
disappear and all danger be avoided.
The remedy prevents fully ten thous-
and cases of Group every year. 1t is
the main reliance with many mothers
throughout the Western States and
Territories; they have learned its value
and how % use it, and in those families
Group is seldom known because it is
always prevented.
The best treatment for Group is Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy used as di.
rected with each bottle. Careful in.
quiry fail to reveals single case where
it has eve failed although agreat many
severe and dangerous cases have been
cured by it. Can any mother who has
small children afford to be without such
a remedy. 1t costs but fifty cents. can
she afford to take the chances for SO
trivial an amount.

Bill Nye may o retire; his facile
pen, which has for so many years dis.
pensed inimitable humor to the greedy
masses, may now be laid aside and no,
be missed. The Buffalo Gap News O.
the 18th inst. contains an article which
fairly eclipses the humorous William
and renders his ablest efforts in the line
of humor tame and uninteresting. The
"pitiful, prayerful plea" Of the News
man, while it may fail to impress the
"un-impressionable damsels' referred
to, will at least result in placing him in
the front rank of humorous writer's
where he not only excels in his salient
points of ridicule, but combines there
with, that rare quality of pathos, which
no other writer of the period has yet
attained to. We bespeak for the new
literary orb the full measure of deserved
distinction.

COOK-KIRBY SCANDAL.
The Case Before the Miller County COur

The Case Before the Miller County Court.
special to the Gazette.
TBxARKANA, ARK, April 1.-THE Cook
Kirby scandal continues to be the all
absorbing topic of the day. A few days
ago a bloody encounter between J. Cook
snd J. c.. Kirby emaEated from accusa-
tons Cook had thrown up on Kirby -at
having destroyed his domestic happiness,
which wrong he Cook endeavored% to
avenge at the pistols point. Since the
encounter and its result both sides
have been swearing vengeance on each
other. Last Saturday evening when
Cook was riding past Kirby's field, q
few rods out of town, John Kirby, son OF
]. C. Kirby, commenced shooting, Cook
returning the fire, but to no result on
either side. Both parties were placed
under arrest, and their case is now before
tine County court of Miller county under
going examination.
W. NoWlan testified that John
Kirby fired first, using a shotgun. Cook
returned the fire with revolver. John
Kirby fired again, and Cook then fired
three times. After John Kirby had shot
twice st the front door, he went back into
the hall and some one handed him an
other gun, which supposed to be shot
Gun. saw three guns during the melee.
John Kirby testified as follows: l
looked out of the door and saw Cook had
refined in his horse with his right hand
and began to turn himself towards the
house. concluded he was going down
the lane and would come into the house
to kill my father. ran back
through the hall to the gallery
on the south side of the house
and saw that the horse was not turned
down the lane, but Cook had crowded the
horse up against the fence. l can't say
which one of US fred first. His first shot
from the lane struck the door facing and
the second broke chair leg. Cook then
galloped off up the lane and got to Bill
FergusOn's house where he stopped.
Here the testimony was suspended
until tomorrow morning when further
depOsitiOns will be taken.
